[4.0+] HoloIRC - an IRC app [2.5.6] [Stable] - Android Apps and Games

Hey everyone. This is my first real app for Android which I've been working on and off on for quite a while now. It's called HoloiRC and it's a lightweight IRC client. Since I will have some time over the next few weeks, I can put some effort into it and really bring it up to scratch.
Basically my motivation for creating this is simple - I felt all IRC clients fell into two categories - overloaded with features and not enough focus on design or not open source. What I've tried to do is stay on the correct side of both the items.
Things that you need to know before installing:
v2.3+ compatible - Gingerbread with Holo!
Multi-server support
Fully open source!
How to help me:
If you know how to work with Android then please feel free to fork https://github.com/tilal6991/HoloIRC and send me a pull request
Join #holoirc on Freenode to ask me questions or just for a chat
Things planned
Much more stuff

OK. I have no idea what the conflict between this and Expense Manager is. I don't have it installed but I don't understand what the conflict could possibly be...

Pretty cool irc client!
Any chance of adding the ability to join irc servers not in the default port?

Haha. Of course. That should be an easy addition so will deffo make into the next version.

As the commits on the repository indicate, a lot of progress has been made. Multi server support has been added and many many bugs have been squashed along with various other improvements. I hope to release another alpha later today.

App has been updated to v0.7.0 - see the second post for the changelog.
If you are coming from the previous version a data wipe or a full uninstall/reinstall is required since the server settings have been completely overhauled in the backend.

This looks like a nice alternative to AndChat. Any screenshots of it with a couple of open channels?
(Is there a dark theme?)

Yeah I'll put those up. Sorry not yet (although it's an option I want to add in a future version - I'll add that to the todo list )
Edit: the new shots are up - they are a lot clearer than the old ones.

Aw nice!
Well, according to the screenshot you already got me as a user. Will evaluate it with my ZNCs, thanks! Looks great so far.

Greets tilal, the client looks neat and sleek, better than the usual bloated clients on the Play Store. Was also nice from you to put the source code up - hope to see more updates soon

Just commited another slew of fixes along with the ability to delete servers - all this will be in the next version.
Any opinions on what you would like implemented next? I have ideas but not sure which would be considered the most important.

A dark theme.

Yeah it's already a WIP on my local code. TBH it's a one line change but the setting implementation may take some time. That and the fact that the cards ui for the main server list looks horribly out of place

Maybe you should improve the one line then.

OK I think I've managed to implement the switcher. It works fine but can be a bit jarring in places which I plan to work on.

I just experienced a crash. I disconnected from my ZNC by clicking Disconnect and LightIRC decided to stop working.

v1.1.0 is now on Google Play testing area. Lot of bug fixes in the release - see the first and second posts on how to get it and what changed.

I am new to the whole IRC thing, so, I was wondering how one might go about making his own channel?
My friend is making a forum for his guild in some game, he thought it'd be nifty to have a mobile chatroom for it! Rather than some java/flash chatroom on the forum.

Real SVN Client for android (OASVN)

The first functional SVN (Subversion) client for Android that correctly uses the SVN protocol! Works for http:// https:// and svn:// repositories! svn+ssh:// (and private key) has been added, please email me with input on it.
OASVN is a free and Open Source software licensed under the Lesser GPL. This Professional version receives bug fixes and general stability updates that the free version does not get and helps support development of OASVN. I will be adding additional nice features to the pro version only, but I want to keep the free version fully functional as an subversion client.
Major changes in this version include
• svn+ssh:// + private key support
• a local and repository browser with many features
• Conflict detection and resolution!
• Working copies can now be saved anywhere in the filesystem.
Google Play Market link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valleytg.oasvnlite.android

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This version of OASVN supports the following SVN operations:
• Checkout (Head or Choose Revision)
• Update
• Commit
• Add (files added to the working copy directory are automatically added on commit
• Export (allows complete export from the remote repo or just exporting just one file from either the working copy or the remote repository).
• Cleanup
• Revert
• Conflict Resolution!!!! (Notification of conflicts happens during update and conflicted files are marked in the local browser, clicking on the file in the local browser presents resolution options
Additional features:
• Remote Repository browse allows the ability to export any single file to your local file system
• Remote Revision list with complete details of files added/deleted/modified, author, commit comments, date, etc.
• Log keeps track of all successes and failures on a connection basis and retains information until you clear it out.
• Local Repository browsing allows you to export from your local copy, open files via intent by mime type (should present your with the correct application choices for the job, it is up to the application to respect opening the file by URI) and also shows svn status of files in conflict, or locally updated.
• New svn+ssh code with private key support! (again this is not well tested, I would appreciate feedback using the jira: http://www.valleytg.com/jira
• Now allows you to save working copies and exports anywhere on the local file-system. (the predetermined /mnt/sdcard/OASVN has been removed)
Major Contributors to the project include: (Thank You!)
Tim Jagenberg : svn+ssh with private key
Sascha Zieger (qxontic): local browser and export ability
Also there is English and German language support. Currently looking for help with French, Japanese and Russian translations, if you can help, there is more information at these links:

Russian : http://www.valleytg.com:8090/browse/OASVN-15

Note: svn+ssl is still experimental. I have received some positive feedback but I do not have access to do in-depth testing yet on this protocol, please send me any feedback using the Jira, my email or website.
I found that interesting. You might want to expand on the features, and add some screenshots here.
For those interested, this is the direct Google Play link.
OASVN
Sure... Thanks for the input.
See first post with update screen shots.
I usually use it like this...
open oasvn
add repos / checkout
all checked out files will go to your mountable storage (most of the time /mnt/sdcard/OASVN or OASVNlite
Once the checkout is complete I open AIDE and use the file browser to navigate to the directory where the checkout took place.. If you use eclipse for your projects you can just click on the project to open it in AIDE..
Do your changes and testing..
Go back to oasvn and commit.
Done. (until next change )
I did a minor update to add a scroll view to one of the activities..
Also currently svn+ssl is not working (regular svn:// http:// and https:// all should) But I am working on adding it...
Version 1.0.3
Did a pretty big update... changes:
* A lot of enhancements intended to make it smoother to use.
* Added the ability to add comments to the commit! (PRO version only)
* Spinning Dialog when performing network action (checkin / checkout)
* Better visual feedback on what is going on
* Fixed a couple of bugs dealing with GUI changes from the threads..
* svn+ssh:\\ support is now experimental.
* Added full local path to the GUI
new version
Newest changelog.
Lots of bug fixes (think i have them all), some enhancements:
- improved svn+ssh:// (still experimental)
- stopped rotation of screen from crashing network activity
- screen will stay awake while doing network activity (sleeping was causing failure)
- Add repo form does validation
- checks local folder names to avoid collisions
I've been using this application and I congratulate you, it's really useful!
I just want to ask for some functionality, when you have the time you could implement some way to check the repository history - all the commits and comments associated with them.
I believe most android users just need an app to check for updates in their repository rather than checkout the project on the device.
Thank you again, the app is really good.

Thank you very much... I have just committed code that will handle a local log of what is going on. And I agree with your point about seeing what the status / history is of the remote repository. I will make this a priority, it is right in line with what I have planned..
Thanks again..
I'm trying the application pro version and it's a great idea., something that i was really missing in Android.
I'm finding a major issue, i'm able to checkout the porject but when i try to commit any change (just a new file created) i'm getting an error (-1 field in the screen) and the revision field is reset to -1, i don't detect any communication attempt in httpserver logs.
I'm using https (with http the behaviour is similar) and the device is a galaxy nexus with 4.0.4

Thank you for this app! I am currently exporting my ROM to my phone, AWESOME! I might go paid soon once I play with it Only one suggestion, add a downloaded content percentage like tortoise, or an estimated time to completion. I've been downloading the ROM for well over 30 minutes lol and no idea how close to done it is Thanks again!
Thanks
I have been looking at ways to get show some sort of feedback on how far along it is... I created a jira for it you can check the progress here: http://www.valleytg.com:8090/browse/OASVN-48
I checked your r146 out and it took over 30 minutes... Exporting is alot faster for getting the full rom (more like 10 to 15 minutes), but every export takes the same amount of time. But checking out and updating, the updates are much faster. I updated from r146 to r164 in just a minute.
very interesting

Apart from it uploading the files to Gdrive and not Dropbox, how is this different from CloudSend?
They are similar but the difference is firstly the Google drive integration, not everyone has dropbox but almost every Android user has a Google Account associated with their phone and therefore Google Drive. And secondly the overall experience is smoother, imo. Obviously everyone has a preference but I wanted to develop the most universal application I could, Google Drive + SMS achieves this
crazyfool_1, how about a collaboration between you and AMPElement?
The best of both worlds?

Seems to be stuck on "Authenticating" when trying to send a picture taken with the camera. How can this be avoided? I'm using a Galaxy Note II int model.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Great concept, I'm really looking forward to trying it out. I'm constantly uploading files to drop box or pogoplug. Though I'm stuck on the authenticating process as well.
Sent from my Droid Razr Maxx using xda premium
Good idea. Using GDrive instead of Dropbox really makes sense :good:
For those stuck on authenticating can you tell me which version of Android and also has it already asked you for permission to access you google drive.. thanks
First findings
Dear,
I really like the ease of use for this app; however some options would be nice:
When I open the program, I would like to see at least which account is being used
I would like to be able to change the upload location (different folder in Google Drive)
I do not see how many characters I have in my sms; most people probably don't care anymore, but when sending an sms, it is polite to show how many messages are occupied
Just for the feeling of the app, I would make sure that you 'see something happening' (chose account, message 'logging in',...), the first time you open it. Also, I would add an action to the 'menu' button: even it if it just shows 'choose upload location / change account / about'.
Apart from these smaller comments: very nice work! Simple, easy to use, does what it needs to do; there certainly is a market for this.
BTW, for those stuck at 'authentication', just try sending a file; it will ask for permissions to log in.
really appreciate the feedback.. I will add an account chooser on start, as for folder I suppose I could add a option where to put the send it folder..
also, how are people getting to see the authenticating message without trying to send a file? that shouldn't be possible..

I only get the message when trying to send a file. Could it be related to me having 2 step security set up on my Google account?
hmm yeah it could be.. it should either ask you to authenticate or it should fail.. shouldn't get stuck, I'll look into it

Could you make it possible to send the text message via the google voice app?

Assalam o Alaikum (may peace be on you)!
I began developing this app when I felt need to delete text messages from my device. A lot of them were spams and sometimes messages would become outdated and useless ("yes", "no", "ok", "brb", etc). So this app helped me filter out such messages and delete them.
There are still things to work on (adding new search filters like contacts to include or to ignore) and more exciting feature to add (categorising messages in favourites), but it is important to keep the flow going and release the app as I work on it.
Features:
search SMS (with various filter such as lines, characters, text, etc),
delete selected SMS (deleted messages are backed up in the app)
restore deleted SMS,
reply/forward an SMS.
Known issues:
Small fix needed when showing Favourite or Trashed messages exceeding 5000 mark.

I hope you people are enjoying using this app. Feel free to report bug or any suggestions you may have. If you can contribute with graphics-related help, you are most welcome.
You need to add a progress bar when deleting messages. (like 6/30 messages deleted...)
Also it would be appreciated if the search filters can work on other sms clients such as go sms, textra, whatsapp etc.

Yes I was thinking about the progress bar thingy.
Do u mean the internal DB maintained by the apps? I will have to see if it's possible.
Oh, you think short message service is your ally. But you merely adopted the SMS; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see MMS until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!
It was totally necessary. :laugh:

Thanks man, really appreciate your comment. I now realise how motivating these thanks and posts appreciating your work really are.
Okay guys, I will be adding 2 or 3 things in next version.
I've already fixed the progress bar thing when deleting,now I will be working on these things:
Recognize all known contacts (+xx and those starting with a 0 will be identified as same),
search button to do the same action as "Add Filter",
An "About" screen and "Share App" feature
Let me know if you have anything else to add to the list. I will try but I can only work on the weekends, having a tough routine nowadays.
Okay guys, there have been a couple of fixes and changes in the app.
Change log - 0.1.1 - alpha:​
ActionBar added,
compatibility for Android 2.1+ (API 7),
buttons replaced by icon - long pressing will show their info as Toast,
deletion progress bar,
all contacts are now recognized (+xx replaced by a 0, where country code is xx),
reply an SMS (from search results),
hardware search button will also open an add filter popup,
About screen,
Share the app with friends SMS and Email,
alert boxes fixed where some devices will show conflicting theme with text unreadable.
Good work! Keep it up.
Couple of changes have been made to the initial design. Following are the done tasks as of now. Hopefully people will come up with an idea or two over here because I feel there will be some things which could be added and improved.
contacts numbers with hyphens will now get recognized,
range selection for number of lines, characters and message count,
number picker for number of characters per SMS,
known/unknown sender replaced by sender type.
I'm a little busy these days and haven't been able to work on this app for a week or two now. The latest feature I was working on was to make a trash bin (a DB file) where all removed messages would go to and you could view, backup or delete them if you're sure that you don't need.
Basically I was stuck with saving the DB on external storage, since people would expect such things on external storage because they would reset/format their devices, especially after having such enormous amounts of amazing ROMs over here at XDA.
This upcoming build will be more mature and with a better UI. It would be really nice if you people post something you have to say about the app or the features you'd like to have (customizability or something which you think is generally expected but Bane SMS lacks). It will give me encouragement and also help me in making this app more useful for the users.
Bane SMS [Alpha 0.1.2]
As I promised, this version is much improved and is more intuitive. Thanks to my brother Salman Babri who made some really important suggestions when I thought nothing more could be added to this app. Now he's asking me to make the UI a bit fancy like some really amazing apps - Clean Master and Battery Doctor. I don't have designing skills so somethings are not really possible, like which theme should I use, the icons and everything. If you want to contribute then you're welcome. I don't know what I can give you as incentive, but we can negotiate over that hopefully. :laugh:
Change log - 0.1.2 - alpha:
new - couple of GUI updates,
Share app feature fixed (as per Android's guidelines),
new - report issue and contact developer added,
new - Range Seekbar for filters (bounds can be changed from settings)
new - scroll through messages from the Message View screen and messages can also be marked/unmarked from there,
new - removed SMS are backed up and can be restored from Trash bin,
new - Trash Bin can be exported and its location can also be changed from settings,
bug fixed - where lines weren't counted correctly,
bug fixed - where contacts with hyphens/spaces/tabs in the number will not get recognized,
ActionBar back button issue on newer versions -- bug fixed,
Alerts' background colour will be white always (to fix the visibility issue),
Bane v0.3 beta is out
Assalam o Alaikum (may peace be on you)!
Glad to announce that the long long awaited update of Bane SMS is finally here!
First of all I apologise for this long delay.
Main updates:
Materialised Bane, (if you see something unMaterial, please notify me )
Improved deletion, restoration speed,
Navigation Drawer based app,
completely supports KitKat and Lollipop with default SMS app (just go to Options Menu and click on Default SMS app. Clicking it again will undo it (did this to help make it less annoying).
Known Issues:
crash when showing Favourites or Trash when messages exceed 5000 or something

It should probably work as it does not use Google's Mobile Vision API instead, our own classifier.
Try and drop your feedback.

Aivon uses some parts of Microsoft's API (specifically emotion/facial expression identification) along with our own classifier hosted in our personal servers. For detailed info, feel free to PM me.

FAQ ? WIP
Looks phenomenal mate!
I have yet to put any time in the app beyond the initial few minutes to check it out but I am confused about few things:
1) I see duplicates of app on all screens. See attached pics.
Might have something to do with the fact that I have selected all the repos?
2) Sync log - What exactly does that mean that the following failed: 06, 12, 22, 23? They are always failing. Tried to sync from multiple networks.
Is there an retry attempt happening? Where can I find the reason for failure?
3) Any way to make the sync notification to show progress like how it is happening for F-Droid now + Can we make it go away after sync has finished?
4) Suggestion: Make it possible to see somewhere from what repo the app is displayed.
Thanks for the hard work.
Suggestion:
Add "Pull down to refresh / sync", so that we no need to sync everytime by going into the setting.
I think I love you... The Fdroid app is ass, and the alternative apps aren't much better.
Works great so far. Only thing, it would be nice if you could copy/paste a repos info.
Most of them have the url and fingerprint together. The F-droid app works that way.
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work.
In upcoming updates will be disponible to login with the google account with 2fa?

There is an option to do so, go to repolist & at the bottom click on 'Add Repository' you can either add repos manually or scan Qr to add.
You can also share repos, long press on repolist its to view info and share option.
Will write FAQs with such details soon.

I'm not sure why you would require logins in Aurora Droid.
And in case you are asking about Aurora Store, you can login with 2FA enabled account, you just need to generate app passwords and use the generated password to login.

Thank you, I appritiate your time.
I want to share 2 of my latest findings with you:
1) Search results do not display all of the possible results - I was searching for a specific manga app that I downloaded from F-Droid but I couldn't find it via Aurora Droid.
From what I can see it is because you do not search within the app's description for matching keywords while f-droid does.
I've attached few pictures for reference.
2) Icon loading times when browsing / searching are extremely high - Sometimes they will not be loaded at all.
Entering the apps displays the icon instantly.
:good:
Amazing app! Can I disable the view of apps from Google Play? I want find only from F-Droid ones.
Great app, more like what F-droid *should* be.
Couple of things tho:
>>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest—lots of scrolling to see newest entries in categories.
>>Some app showing 'Incompatible App' even though they are not. Able to d/l and install from F-droid, but blocked from doing so in Aurora Droid.
Love this thing, keep up the good work. And, Thanks!

Cool! The 'Incompatible App' issue is fixed for me, but still >>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest. Not really a big deal, though.
Thanks again

Fixed ! Wait for next release
Search function is still not up to par with official client.
Dunno what the reason this time. Attaching pics with the search term of "manga".
Thanks again for the app, it's a very cool one
Refreshing applications lists oesn't seems to update the repo applications.
So, in order for a application update to appear in the update section, you need to manually resync the repos. Well, It's he case atleast for me, would maybe be better to replace what the refresh action to directly resync the repos if it doen't already do that.
Issues aside, Aurora droid is as good as Aurora Store, very happy by both overall applications, and really appreciate its design (which has support for AMOLED screen which is a plus for me)
